As soon as the boy tumbled to the ground at her side her tense form would relax slightly. Now that she knew he wasn't going to be running away from her she was content to provide him whatever attention he wanted, even though she had already unknowing been providing him all the attention he truly wanted. As his frame moved in a way that showed he was ignoring her, her head would tilt downwards unsure if she should really provide him an answer to his inquiry. These sort of topics needed to take time to understand and knowing he was different assured her that she might need to take a bit more time to help explain things to him. She would grow silent for a moment as her long nimble fingers grasped ahold to the grass below, plucking them and casually tossing them to the side. The flicker movement of his tail caught her attention and as her somber eyes shifted upwards she noticed how one of his black ears, propped atop his cranium, was pointed in her direction. With a soft sigh, her thoughts collected she would attempt to explain as best as she could to help him understand relationships. His repeated words of brother and sister received a nod in his direction, a sign that they were on the same page. It was his disdain snort followed by a question that caused her to lift her head upwards. With a nod she would kindly respond slowly, and easily, pausing every now and then to make sure he was grasping what she was saying.

"Yes. You call a girl your girlfriend...before you call her mate...Having a girlfriend is like...a test...you spend time with her and see if you want to keep her forever...and if you will always protect her, care for her...and love her."

She would turn her head away from him for a moment. Those nervous feelings surfacing all over again. This topic was not something she had ever discussed before. It was just something that she didn't think of and hardly ever thought she would have to even speak about such things to another person, especially to a person she hoped would feel this way about her too. Too mortified to admit those feelings she attempted to keep herself unbiased, wanting him to figure it all out for himself. To influence him in her favor would be wrong. With his follow up question she simply stared. Why he would ask how many girlfriends he was allowed to have was beyond her. Though his ability to count she doubted he possessed the ability. Once more her soothing tone rang out gently pausing sometimes, but keeping her voice steady as blue-grey eyes met dark chocolate eyes.

"You get one girlfriend. Your girlfriend is not a Sister, or any other girl you are friends with...your girlfriend is your favorite the best one of all...the one you want to make as your mate."

The tail that flicked at his side would twitch against her legs. Gently she would lean into him to grab his tail gently, stroking it in a petting manner, explaining the following words below, and then pointing to her nose to make her point- helping him understand the number one.

"One, is a number, so take for example your tail...you only have one tail...and nose, I only have one nose."

She would let go of his tail as she watched him twitch it back and forth. She hoped he grasped the information. After all she explained everything as best as she could for his benefit. Feeling a soft tap on her shoulder, she would turn her head in that direction seeing nothing but the simple backdrop of the woods. The wind would easily pick up, bringing the rolling storm in closer and closer. The lighting flickering in the dark clouds. The scent of rain now heavy. Thunderstorms were always her favorite. Her scarred cheek felt a sharp smack of fur against her fur as she swung her head back towards Tobi noticing his tail as he leapt and bounded away. Her upper torso would twist halfway as he began to leap away. Sighing and shaking her head she would turn her upper torso right back around, her back to Tobi. As he approaches her from behind she could feel his form press against her back as his teeth cling to her left air. The gentle manner screamed he was being playful, but for a canine it was also seen as a sign of dominance. She would start to fall on her back instincts and experience taking over, for her it was a sign of submittance that she fall on her back, but she paused half way. Letting go of her ear and leaping away she would return to sitting in her upright position. As she watched him run off his question that he threw at her caused the girl to simply blush. Her cheeks turning a bright shade of hot pink. Her fingers would once again intertwine with one another nervously. Why she was asked this question she had no idea, but weakly she voiced out her response as she nodded her head.

"Y-yes you would have sex with your girlfriend."

Quietly she would sit there watching the deviant half-man and half-leopard roam around within the tall grass. The point of tonight was to bring him some relief and play all to relieve him of the stress and cruelty he had to experience at Syn. She was unaware that tonight would be a night of questions about things that she wished could happen, but she knew it just couldn't. From what she had learned at such a young age, and been reminded of, good things don't happen to bad people. She was conditioned to see herself in such a poor light and so she accepted it. Blue-grey eyes met his chocolate eyes once more noticing how he simply stared at her for a moment. Her fingers stopped twisting around as she pulled some of her golden curls from her eyes. Hearing him speak she was thankful to hear him not ask her another personal question. Though why he would say this to her, she did not know, but she was glad to know she was not hated by someone. She was so used to being hated by others and knowing that the first friend she had made didn't feel like the others, well, that made her very happy. She was always happy to be in his company, whether he was being a little troublemaker or not, it all just did not matter. The only thing that mattered was that he was having a good time and he would not see her in a negative light. A small genuine smile appeared on her mauled façade as spoke lightly.

"I do not hate you either Tobi."
